Name: Dirk Dackwood Age: 24 Sex: Male Profession: Sleipnir Gunner Location: Sleipnir Turrets Affiliations: The Wise Men, The Sleipnir Disposition: Thoughtful, Attentive
Character Background and Description Dirk was born in the Earthborn city of Flagstaff, with a mostly-uneventful childhood and
adolescence with his mother, father, and three sisters. Flagstaff is a reasonably large trading hub in the Americas, with relatively large amounts of land available to its citizens and an actual forest nearby. When he was 14, he began to learn to hunt with his father, for despite their size, megafauna die all the same if you know where to shoot.
When he was 16, he began accompanying his father to his visits to the market whenever the Wise Men appeared to trade animal pelts and fangs for luxuries like paper and the occasional metal or gem. He struck up a rapport with a couple of Skyborn teens among the Wise Men, and at age 18 he petitioned for migration onto the Sleipnir.
Dirk's aim and perceptiveness saw him to be placed upon one of the gunnery turrets on the Sleipnir where he enjoys his duty to sit down, watch what passes him by, and just shut down for a few hours. While he didn't enjoy setting aside the books and woodworking that he enjoyed as an Earthborn, in the six years since he's become a Skyborn he hasn't really missed any of his old life. This is likely supplemented by his relationship with Julian, a man two years older than Dirk who works in the research and development division at the Sleipnir under the same shift-schedule that Dirk follows.
Dirk is a quiet, pensive man. who prefers to only take action after having analysed all the data he can gather. This action, once taken, is generally quick, decisive, and lethal in its execution, but while he is capable of acting at a moment's notice on instinct, he often finds it more difficult than thinking things through first.
